Mud N Madness Event Charities

Saint Francis Hospice

Saint Francis Hospice provides care and support to people affected by a life limiting illness. As you take on this mighty 'Mud N Madness' challenge, we ask you to think of our patients and their families who have their own challenges to face.

You may know someone who has received hospice care and understand the important service we provide. The hospice cares for the whole person rather than simply treating the symptoms and so we look after their clinical, social and spiritual needs.

Our services are provided completely free of charge, covering an area of 1 million people, those living Havering, Brentwood, Barking, Dagenham and Redbridge. We care for adults over the age of 18 and support not only patients but also their families including young children - helping them to comes to terms with what is happening.

The majority of patients receive care at home with our nurses making over 5,000 home visits each year. Saint Francis Hospice is an important local charity that provides vital support to the local community.

By choosing Saint Francis Hospice as your charity to support, you are enabling us to continue to provide care to people who need our help. We look forward to hearing from you and sending out a sponsor pack.

How you will help us

By supporting Cancer Research UK you will be helping us find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Cancer Research UK is at the heart of cancer research, funding the work of more than 4,500 researchers, doctors and nurses throughout the UK.

Prevention - we are at the forefront of raising national awareness on the issue of cancer. Campaigns such as the Smokefree Workplaces campaign has helped to save an estimated 600 lives a year. By promoting a healthy and active lifestyle, we can help significantly reduce cancer rates in the UK.

Diagnosis - your money helps us to fund our three national screening programmes for bowel, breast and cervical cancers. Screening for cancer aims to find cancers as early as possible - when the chance of cure is highest. Sometimes screening programmes can find changes that would lead to cancer if they were not treated.

Treatment - Cancer Research UK is at the heart of pioneering new clinical trials, aiming to find safe treatments with fewer side effects, to help patients feel better quicker. Our website CancerHelp UK also allows us to provide helpful information to cancer patients and their families, allowing them access to all the information and support they need.

We can't wait to welcome you on to the team. Together we will beat cancer.
